EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Venice, 1912," is a pastel on paper masterpiece created by the renowned French artist Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer (1865-1953). The scene depicts the enchanting city of Venice, Italy, as it transitioned into the modern era during the fin de siècle and early 20th century. The painting captures the essence of the city's iconic landmarks bathed in the soft glow of an evening twilight. In the foreground, the Basilica di San Marco (St. Mark's Basilica) dominates the scene, its golden mosaics shimmering against the fading light. The Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale) and the Church of Santa Maria della Salute stand proudly on either side of the Grand Canal, their grandeur reflected in the tranquil waters. The artist expertly employs the Art Nouveau and Symbolist styles, known in France as Jugendstil and Stil Moderne, respectively. The painting's dreamlike quality and emphasis on organic forms and decorative motifs are characteristic of these movements. The influence of the Wiener Secession, a prominent Austrian art movement, is also evident in the composition and color palette. The painting invites the viewer to imagine the bustling activity of the city's vibrant nightlife, as the sounds of gondoliers' songs echo through the narrow canals and the scent of Italian cuisine wafts through the air. The Venetian Lagoon, with its shimmering reflections, adds to the sense of timeless beauty and enchantment that Venice continues to evoke. This exquisite work of art, now in a private collection, serves as a window into the past, transporting us to a bygone era and offering a glimpse into the allure and charm of Venice during the early 20th century.
